Uhh... can anyone explain what is going on at Microsoft?
The President of the Interractive Entertainment Business, the face of the Xbox brand for the past generation and the new generation is leaving the company before the new console even releases?

This cannot be a good sign for the future of Xbox.

Don Mattrick is pretty much the face of the entire backlash. He's probably falling on his sword as part of the One-80.

Any ideas on who will take his role and carry the Xbox brand up to the release of the Xbox One?

Considering he was the face of the DRM hate for the Xbox One, I'd say this is a good sign.

Maybe they can completely redo what he wanted and make a no Kinect SKU for $400 or $350 now.

Someone high ranking who doesn't act like an arrogant douchebag and instead shows respect for the customer. At Microsoft that would be... uh... hang on... um... can I get back to you on that?

That's like stepping into a bear trap and trying to free yourself by gnawing off your OTHER foot...

What a move! I'm sure he'll be very proud of Zynga...

Zynga is retarded...

Didn't Zynga just fire about 500 employees? And they replace them by ... him? Someone at Zynga is making questionable decisions.

The guy should have been fired right after mocking the military. What a douchebag.

I would bet that this is actually a good sign for the future of Xbox.

I think a lot of Zynga support was in the philippines actually.. so not *that* much of a $$ sacrifice. Having said that, i wouldnt have thought Zynga was a good choice for him... they are going down down...
